Relationship context
Overview
Mozambique and Zambia maintain cooperative bilateral ties, including a joint commission for government-to-government cooperation. Their relationship also reflects practical interest in cross-border transport and trade. The scope and implementation of these arrangements are not clear enough to characterize the partnership as especially close.
